My Trip Through Idaho...

I recently went on a drive through Idaho to sight-see and explore. Our first stop was Preston, Idaho, home of Napoleon Dynamite.

Stop #1:
Preston High School
Famous "Liger" scene
Stop #2:

Napoleon's House
Stop #3:
Tina the llama... although she is not black.. this is the one the locals refer to as Tina.
Stop #4:
The Famous Colored Lockers

Stop #5:
Ring any bells anyone?
Here, let me help...




Now you see it? haha


So, anyway, after Preston, Idaho, we headed to the site of the Bear River Massacre. For info look here at these sites:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_River_Massacre, http://www.nps.gov/archive/gosp/research/AIndian_prom.htm, http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1474404, & http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/national/84231427.html

Stop #1:
The information sign and the prayer trees.
Stop #2:
The insulting "monument" claims the killing of mostly women and children was a necessary thing, and calls it a battle. Facts are: 2 thirds of those killed were women and children, US soldier's thought these people savages, US soldiers cut open the wombs of pregnant women (after raping them) and wrapped the fetus' around their hats as trophies, 4-7 survived by swimming the frozen river, playing dead or being a child that a soldier couldn't kill.


Added after the original offensive plaque.
Stop #3:
Prayer trees.

My brother paying his respects.
Me preparing my corn offering.
Me creating a bow out of my guitar strap, to leave it as a offering and to show my respects.
Stop #4:
Stop #5:
Bear River
The eastern side.
The western side.
Stop #6:
The Bear River Massacre Valley. You can see the flat area where the Shoshone camped, the ridge that US soldiers surrounded the camp by, & the river the US crossed and some Natives escaped by.

Next, we drove and saw Red Rock Pass:
